Multi‐gradient‐echo myelin water fraction imaging: Comparison to the multi‐echo‐spin‐echo technique

Purpose Myelin water fraction (MWF) mapping based on multi‐gradient recalled‐echo (MGRE) imaging has been proposed as an alternative to the conventional multi‐echo‐spin‐echo (MESE) approach. In this work, we performed a comparative study of MESE and MGRE‐derived MWFs in the same subject group. Methods MESE and MGRE data were acquired in 12 healthy volunteers at 3T. decay curves were corrected for the effects of field inhomogeneities and...
